12 Jun 2017 – About 40 scientists were using the icebreaker CCGS Amundsen for a 133-day expedition across the Arctic, part of a $17-million, four-year project to look at the effects of climate change.

They began their trip on May 25 in Quebec City, but due to bad ice conditions off the coast of Newfoundland, the icebreaker was diverted to help ferries and fishing boats stuck in the ice. Some had even took on water.

‘Very severe ice conditions’

According to the Canadian Coast Guard, the conditions were unlike anything ever seen before in the area.

“It was just extreme ice conditions that required everything that we’ve got in order to make sure we were able to provide the services,” said Julie Gascon, the coast guard’s assistant commissioner for the central and Arctic region.Strong northeastern winds started packing in ice in late April and never stopped, said Gascon. The result was sea ice conditions treacherous for even an icebreaker to navigate

“We never had any issues in the past of this nature,” she said. “Very severe ice conditions.”

Sort:  

Even Al Gore knew climate change was a sham to make money by companies contributing with money to keep emitting and being dirty businesses.

Not entirely a bad thing; but it's starting to look like it was all just another way to make profit from others trapped in a social politics catch-22!

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

It's a scam.

Real scientists know that we are headed for the next ice age. Global warming is just propoganda that the left used to divert massive public funds to entities which then gave huge political contributions and support.

yup...we've been heading toward an IceAge since the last one. It was hotter 20K years ago..that's why the glaciers melted...it's been cooling off gradually, and in big dips (mini-age) since that time.
The days of summer are numbered..
Then comes HIMMLEVINTER.

I absolutely love the irony in the story. The "global warming" crew in an icebreaker had to divert to help other who were stuck in the worst ice that those living in the area had seen in their lives. HaHa , love it!!!

I love science and scientific facts. I'm going to follow you for more fun reading.

Fimbulwinter?

Fimbulwinter

  • Fimbulvetr is the harsh winter that precedes the end of the world and puts an end to all life on Earth. Fimbulwinter is three successive winters, when snow comes in from all directions, without any intervening summer. Then, there will be innumerable wars.

Yup and all my friends call me every name under the sun for telling the real truth

This is beyond funny and could easily be classified as a tragicomedy, and the S will keep Hitting The F...

They will start using climate change, and not global worming with they associated "science" to back up their claims.

See, that confirms climate change.

Warmer Temps=Climate Change
Thicker Ice=Climate Change
More Rain=Climate Change
Less Rain=Climate Change

it's here, it's there...It's everywhere...up/down/sideways...it's CLIMATE change.
(you can't make this stuff up)

The poor watermelons just can't catch a brake. It looks like mother nature didn't get the "The science is settled" memo.

hoooooy .... ma watermelon is not poor
it contains a whole world of changing ideas ^^
oh and yeah you're right there is climate change as well..
because climate change is everywhere, just pay enough money for a study and even teddy bears are worth a blame ^^
its proof of shit in the blockchain ^^

pesky facts.

spread the news far and wide.
Rule #5.

Fucking priceless

Thanks for sharing!

...when will they stop shovelling this horse sh*t?

Never.
The 'elite' have been shoveling shit since forever.

We have all been lied to about climate change from the get go. Great post

thank you
I have other posts on the subject.

I just resteem a few of your posts my friend. Great work on here!

thanks
